Hailing from Hilo, Hawaii, 25-year-old post-pop artist Aaron Kai’s waves can be seen worldwide. Grooming his art through inspiration from his natural surroundings since adolescence, he took his talents over to San Francisco and is making his mark with notable projects such as Hurley’s Anti-Canvas campaign, and most recently, splashing his signature waves at The Hundreds HQ in Los Angeles. He’s also gained significant recognition in the world of music—most notably, HBK Gang affiliate Kool John, who’s debut album $hmop City was designed by none other than Aaron. Aside from constructing one of a kind pieces, Aaron is also a co-founder of lifestyle brand Lemon HI—an expression of art through the medium of streetwear. Sky is the limit for the Hawaii native. “Life is what you make of it, when life gives you lemons, it’s your choice what to make of it. I chose to express myself through art!” He plans to continue on riding this wave—by continuing to draw them.
